San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Zane Johnson scored 26 points to lead the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors over the San Jose State Spartans, 77-71, in a Western Athletic Conference tilt at the Event Center.
Bill Amis scored 19 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Hawaii (18-10, 8-7 WAC), while Vander Joaquim and Bo Barnes each had 12 points and Jeremiah Ostrowski handed out 10 assists.
Adrian Oliver led the Spartans (15-13, 5-10) with 18 points, while Justin Graham had 15 points, Keith Shamburger tallied 14 points and Wil Carter finished with 13 points.
San Jose State hit 7-of-10 first half three-pointers to take a slim, 37-36 lead into the break.
The Spartans faded down the stretch, however, as they failed to make a field goal and went just 3-of-6 from the charity stripe over the last four minutes of action to suffer the loss.
San Jose State saw a season-best four-game win streak come to an end, despite hitting 61.5 percent of its three-point attempts on the night.
